[kde-linux] Problem with kmail at startup

[tonyb]

Suse 11.2
KMail Version 1.12.2
Using KDE 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 6"

I have two userids which I use, both of which are set (using System 
Settings/Advanced/Autostart) to run kmail on login. On one of the userids, 
kmail (usually) starts okay, on the other, it doesn't. I've also tried, on the 
failing userid, starting kmail from my ~/.kde4/Autostart folder; if I do that, 
I just get the message 'Kmail got signal 1; exiting' (or something like that). 
Is there any file I can look at to get more information about what may be 
happening?

The relevant(?) section of .xsession-errors is as follows, though I don't see 
anything helpful in it:
